Light years are interchangeable with years of living in darkness The role of darkness is not to be seen as or equated with ignorance But with the unknown and the mysteries of the unseen . . .
– Saul Williams, from Coded Language

. . .

Here’s another version (with music by DJ Krust):

Those who burn, those still aflame and the countless unnamed
We claim the present as the pre-sent, as the hereafter We are unraveling our navels so that we may ingest the sun We are not afraid of the darkness, we trust that the moon shall guide us We are determining the future at this very moment We now know that the heart is the philosophers’ stone . . .– Saul Williams, from Coded Language
